identification of gasterophilus haemorrhoidalis in queensland.		1989	2619658
classification of the main macroscopic lesions produced by larvae of gasterophilus spp. (diptera:gasterophilidae) in free-ranging horses in umbria.	listed and described herein are the main macroscopic lesions produced along the whole digestive tract of free-ranging horses by larvae of the five gasterophilus spp., occurring in umbria, a region of central italy: gasterophilus intestinalis, gasterophilus nasalis, gasterophilus pecorum, gasterophilus inermis, gasterophilus haemorrhoidalis. lesions are classified on the basis of their sizes and shapes and the host's anatomic sites infested, and they are examined in relation to the developmental ...	1988	3335129
species composition of gasterophilus spp. (diptera, oestridae) causing equine gastric myiasis in southern italy: parasite biodiversity and risks for extinction.	horse gastrointestinal myiasis caused by larvae of gasterophilus spp. (diptera, oestridae) flies has a worldwide distribution and, where present, it is primarily caused by larvae of gasterophilus intestinalis and gasterophilus nasalis. other species, i.e., gasterophilus inermis, gasterophilus pecorum and gasterophilus haemorrhoidalis, present in different or in the same regions of the gastrointestinal tract, were only occasionally reported in very limited areas of eastern european countries and ...	2005	15978726
utility of mitochondrial and ribosomal genes for differentiation and phylogenesis of species of gastrointestinal bot flies.	larvae of gasterophilus spp. (diptera: oestridae) cause gastrointestinal myiasis of equids. however, their identification may be problematic due to morphological similarities between species infesting identical regions of the digestive tract. in this study, genes encoding for mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase i (coi) and for the 16s and 28s ribosomal subunits of the most commonly encountered gasterophilinae subfamily species [i.e., gasterophilus haemorrhoidalis (l.), gasterophilus inermis (brauer ...	2005	16539155
comparative scanning electron microscopy of gasterophilus third instars.	comparison of cuticular features, including spine distribution and shape, structure of the maxillae and mandibles, the cephalic sensillae and the terminal abdominal segments of third instar gasterophilus haemorrhoidalis, gasterophilus inermis, gasterophilus intestinalis, gasterophilus meridionalis, gasterophilus nasalis and gasterophilus pecorum was conducted using scanning electron microscopy. one or more features distinguished among the species, with the exception of g. haemorrhoidalis and g. ...	2007	17897366
gasterophilus spp. infections in horses from northern and central kazakhstan.	a cross-sectional survey was performed to obtain current data on the gastrointestinal myiasis of horses in the provinces of kostanay, akmola and karagandy, northern and central kazakhstan. the stomach, small intestine and rectum of 148 slaughter horses were examined for gasterophilus spp. larvae during a 26-month study period. all horses were infected with 2nd and 3rd stage larvae (mean intensity: 803±350), and 22% of them harboured >1000 gasterophilus spp. larvae each. four species were identif ...	2015	25522954
gasterophilosis in horses in sardinia (italy): effect of meteorological variables on adult egg-laying activity and presence of larvae in the digestive tract, and update of species.	gasterophilus larvae are common obligate parasites of the digestive tract of the equids. horses become infected with this parasite by ingesting the larvae hatched from eggs laid by the female flies. in this study carried out monthly, we (i) counted the gasterophilus eggs deposited by female flies on the coat of 30 grazing horses, (ii) counted and identified the gasterophilus larvae retrieved from the digestive tract of 128 slaughtered horses, and (iii) compared these results to meteorological da ...	2015	25663068
the incidence and species composition of gasterophilus (diptera, gasterophilidae) causing equine myiasis in northern xinjiang, china.	a survey was conducted on the detection of the larval gasterophilus species in 90 equines via necropsy or after administering oral ivermectin in xinjian, china, from 2008 to 2013. all 90 (100%) equines were infested by larval gasterophilus, and 3723second instar larvae (l2) and 63,778 third instar larvae (l3) were collected from faecal samples and the digestive tract, a ratio of l2:l3=1:17. over 84.45% of the animals contained ≤1500 larvae and 7.78% had >2000 larvae. the highest totals of l2 and ...	2016	26827858
